The Etsy VT is a half and half interview and demonstration from homemade clothes designer Bonnie Arvpino. The VT researcher found Bonnie on Etsy website, we got into contact and myself and Gavin (show director) did a Skype call with her to find out if she would be interested. This VT was a lot easier to organise from a producers perspective, than the Old to New, mainly because it didn't involve any purchasing of clothes or research beforehand. The main thing I had to do was prepare interview questions for Bonnie to answer.
I had to do a small part of research before coming up with the questions, mainly around Bonnie and her page, i found that she makes a lot of children clothes but was starting to develop a more adult range, so i made sure to cover this in my questions. Aside from this I wanted to make sure we understood firstly why and how Bonnie got into having her own clothing business and secondly how she learnt to make her own clothes, because it isn't something you would expect a person to know. I put all of these ideas into the questions that i used on the day for the interview.The filming of this VT went really well, i suggested we use 2 cameras for this Vt and i think that was a very good suggestion, it allowed us to get a lot of coverage when filming Bonnie making a t-shirt.
